Hon. JOHN BOEHNER, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies 

Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), provides for the automatic termination of 

a national emergency unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal 

Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the 

emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. In 

accordance with this provision, I have sent to the Federal Register 

for publication the enclosed notice, stating that the national emergency with respect to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction that was declared in Executive Order 12938 is to continue in 

effect beyond November 14, 2014. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

THE PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order (E.O.) 12938, the 

President declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by the proliferation of 

nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass destruction) and the means of delivering such weapons. On July 28, 

1998, the President issued E.O. 13094, amending E.O. 12938, to respond more effectively to the worldwide threat of weapons of mass 

destruction proliferation activities. On June 28, 2005, the President 

issued E.O. 13382, which, inter alia, further amended E.O. 12938, 

to improve our ability to combat proliferation. The proliferation of 

weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 

security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States; therefore, the national emergency first declared on November 14, 1994, 

and extended in each subsequent year, must continue. In accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 

U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency declared 

in Executive Order 12938. 

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, November 7, 2014.
